I have made a silent and unknown vow that I will try to minimise blogging about my life but what happened today was really tempting that I find that I have the need to blog down this moment of my life in fear of forgetting it for today must be considered to be one of my best days ever.
Friends for ten years. Will we still be friends twenty years down the road?
Today is 1st September 2006 and today is Teachers' Day. This morning, I set m alarm at seven, woke up, turned off my alarm and set it at eight. At eight, I woke up, turned off the alarm and set it at eight thirty. At eight thirty, I woke up, turned off the alarm and lied in bed till eight forty-five. After which I prepared myself and went to the bus stop and took the bus number 74. The first bus came and I looked at it: Not an air-conditioned bus so I will not sit on this bus. Then, after a painstaking five minutes, the bus finally came and I boarded it. So, here starts my great and interesting journey and the first stop is Hougang Interchange.
Hougang Interchange: Wow! This place is still the same! I met up with my bunch (Note that I use the word bunch) of primary school friends. There were a total of seventeen and one will come later. Wow! That is half of our class! After four years of secondary education, I am actually gald that half of our class have stayed together and believed in one another and came today for the gathering. Who were there? Well, there was me, definately. Chin Siong, Hong Kang, Norman, Eugene, Kar Wei, Glenn, Wai Yang, Sameul, Gilbert, Agnes, Xue Ying, Cherie, Michelle, Lydia, Jocandy and Siying there at the interchange and Defu will be going there by himself.
There are so much changes. I was actually shocked to see that many have changed while many still remained the same. Changed for the better or for the worse? I am in no position to comment for they are all my friends.
After which, we boarded the bus number 161 and proceeded to the second stop of this tour: Woodlands interchange-cum-Causeway point.
Woodlands: There, we took photographs which we will use to develop and after which, give it to Miss Foong as a present. After many photographs and many minutes so frozen smiles, the girls chose one photograph. As you can see from this picture, someone is being hidden and that is our dear Samuel, who is also affectionately known as Sam or 'What' by us.
Finally, we started to journey by foot to our third stop, the lodging of our beloved Primary school teacher, Miss Foong. I wonder if she still look the same. Will she have long hair? Or will she have short hair? Will she be skinny or will she be plump? God knows! I just hope that she will same as ever - witty and cheerful.
Miss Foong's house: Wow! Miss Foong looks the same! As pretty as ever. As gorgeous as ever. As short as ever. Okay, sorry, it was meant to be as an insult. Miss Foong looks good being short. We all like Miss Foong. We all admire Miss Foong. Miss Foong can easily be the most inspiring teacher I've ever met.
So, we got in and eat a lot pizza, chicken and potato and Miss Foong said," Vegetables are for rabbits." Well, if that is true, then 'Chocolate is a sin'.
We sat around and Miss Foong started talking to us about many things. She asked about our mothers. "How's your mother?" She talked about language - how man is less concerned about language than women. How it is because of the 'face' value. Our class became quiet. Miss Fong just simply have the ability to make people pay attention.
Finally, we took some photographs. Now, we finally know why Miss Foong always look so good in every photograph she took. This is because she is very, well erm... , lets just put it this way. She has high taste. One photograph was taken about 3-4 times.
After which, we went into her living room and talked about all the things that happened in the past. We talked about how she treated us in the past - both nicely and badly. We took a look at all the things that 6-8 gave Miss Foong in the past. The file of all the happenings in the past two years of our Primary Six life. The photo album where we prepared for Miss Foong. It is full of our young photographs and we talked and talked and laughed and laughed our hearts out. How I wish I had never grown up.
When we finally left Miss Foong's house, we proceeded to our fourth stop by the lift, the playground.
Playground: There, we sat down and talked about how we used to play "Girl-catch-Boy" or "Boy-catch-Girl" everytime after recess. We sat their and talked about old times. We took out our handphones and started to take photographs with everyone of us. It was so cool. Kar wei, Gilbert and Hong Kang was there acting cute, with their flower pose. Haha, it was cool.
Finally, we all got hungry and headed for our fifth and final stop: Causeway Point's top most floor (or was it the second top?). We sat there and had our dinner. Which was okay. Finally, we went home.
We spent about eight to nine hours togther. However, the day seem to have zoomed all those while. I want to be young again!
When you are in Primary school, you enjoy innocent fun. You have true friends and the friendship will be forever there all your life! I love Primary school.
